Africa backs Infantino as UEFA criticism grows over World Cup sell-off

African football has thrown its weight behind FIFA President Gianni Infantino, even as European critics intensify their calls for accountability over the World Cup sell-off. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) voted unanimously in favor of Infantino, with CAF president Patrice Motsepe urging good governance in the sport. The move comes as a UEFA vice president called for a “custodian of sport” amid the uproar, with UEFA continuing to lead criticism of Infantino despite FIFA’s defiant stance. The controversy has also raised fresh questions about an answer Infantino gave on the eve of a recent tournament, adding intrigue to his fight to remain FIFA president.
